In today’s episode, Alexis sits down with J.J. Kelly, PsyD, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Emotional Intelligence Skills Expert from Oakland, California. Her company, UnorthoDocs Inc. is a punk rock alternative to traditional psychotherapy that centers around emotional intelligence skills training, peer coaching, mentorship, and community outreach.
During this conversation we unpack:
- Dr. JJ’s Journey with Psychotherapy and how she was led to start her company
- How we can effectively support others instead of reacting from a place of fear
- The importance of Emotional Intelligence Skills in personal relationships, the workplace, for children and teens, and with ourselves
- How to Find your Values and maintain behaviours that align with them
- What’s inside ‘The Get Real Program’ for students under 18 and over 18 and how parents can support their young people with this program
- The Holy Sh*t series - Dr. JJ’s 3 Books about Kids and Self-Harm, Finding happiness outside of what society says you should do, Dealing with a Narcissist in the workplace and beyond
